Ben Witherington asks whether the “beloved disciple” in the fourth Gospel was not John son of Zebedee, but in fact was Lazarus, the man who Jesus raised from the dead. It’s an interesting article and he makes some interesting points. Not least, he looks carefully at the Gospel, which can’t be a bad thing :-)
